Isak Dinesen and the land and people she loved are nowhere so real and compelling as in Longing for Darkness, written by Dinesen’s majordomo, Kamante.Readers familiar with Out of Africa may recognize many of the enchanting stories. These celebrated tales and others are retold here from Kamante’s perspective and are enhanced with his own drawings and letters, Dinesen’s words and snapshots, and photographs by Peter Beard. Writes Beard, “Over a period of 12 years, as if divesting himself of his possessions, Kamante put down the extra dimensions of truth which are at the heart of Out of Africa.”
